* ''Literature/{{Ragtime}}'': Most of the main characters are unnamed, referred to only by titles ("Mother", "Father", "Younger Brother", etc.).The only exceptions are Coalhouse Walker and Sarah (first name only) -- as it would be too hard to tell their part of the story without names -- and the various {{Historical Domain Character}}s. The musical adaptation also gave the "Little Boy" character a first name (Edgar, in homage to the book's author) because it proved to be too complicated to write around the lack of one.

The cover synopsis and advertising makes it clear that Constanta's husband is Count Dracula himself, but in the book itself he's only every referred to by her as "you" since the novel is addressed to him. This is intentional as, since Dracula stripped her of her name and renamed her Constanta to make her in his own image, she wishes to destroy his name as well to make him nothing but a bad memory.
